9 YEAR OLD BOURBON WHISKEY
When it comes to making Knob Creek Bourbon, there's a lot of waiting but hardly any sitting around. While each barrel patiently ages in white oak, our distillers continue to raise the standards, fulfilling their commitment to full flavor. The result? An unflinching balance of deep, pre-Prohibition-style bourbon with a robust oak taste, complemented with hints of smooth vanilla and layered caramel. Proof 100
Tasting profile
Nose
Rich and inviting, the nose opens with aromas of warm vanilla and caramel, underscored by toasted oak and subtle hints of dried fruit and spice—think nutmeg and a whisper of cinnamon.
Taste
On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied experience. Sweet caramel and vanilla mingle with robust oak and toasted nuts, while gentle smoky and spiced notes (a nod to its high proof) add complexity and balance to the sweetness.
Finish
The finish is long and warming, featuring lingering oak and spice with a slight, pleasant bitterness that invites another sip.
These tasting notes capture the classic, robust character that Knob Creek Bourbon is known for, though individual perceptions can vary with each sip.
